"Faculty is amazing."
"High quality lectures, high quality instructors"
"The professors are truly amazing. They care for their students and it shows in their devotion to the curriculum. The quality of the education is top notch. The flipped classroom with lectures that are recorded gives you the ability to watch videos as many times as you would like and is an amazing resource even after classes are over for board prep."
"The basic science curriculum is phenomenol"
"The professors actually care about how we're doing in class, and in life. They will take the time to approach us and help us out with whatever we need. They are also really focused on making this a great school, so we hear day after day "this will be on your boards!" They don't waste our time making us learn things that we just don't need to know yet. Also, since we are still new, we actually have a role in changing how the school is run via initializing policy change."
"At every turn, the school seems truly dedicated to their students."
"The faculty and facilities are top of the line"
"Administration is not the nicest.."
"I wish we had a nicer campus"
"The administration can be difficult. It is sometimes hard to make changes in certain aspects of the school such as clicker grading and the mandatory attendance policy. While we are not in class for many hours a day, it would be nice to be able to change the clicker policy, which has not yet happened. The administration can seem to be stuck in their ways, but I think that is possible with any school."
"Administrative support"
"The OMM department could use a little work. They're not too cohesive with each other, and it comes out in the teaching."
"$2000-$3000 acceptance fees"
"The administration can be unresponsive to the needs of individuals, despite strong responsiveness to group intercessions to them. Individual n complaints are too often put on back burner to continue to follow their educational plan unchanged (unless complaints are organized through formal group channels like the SGA)"
"This is a solid program, the instructors are outstanding. I feel like I am getting a high quality education here."
"The camaraderie between students is powerful. There is never a feeling of extreme competition between students as the grading is designed in a particular way to foster team learning. Notes are shared as are study practices between students of the same year as well as the years ahead. Students provide reviews for the year below which is extremely helpful."
"They truly do engage each student during teaching lectures to assure you are getting every possible question answered."

"3-4 days a week"
"Class time is mandatory, so 100%"
"All attendance is mandatory. However, class time is diminished due to the "flipped classroom" where class time is for practice question, and being able to watch lectures at home."
"Clickr system"
"Infrequently"
"Manditory attendance for all classes is in the books but never enforced except in labs (5-6 hours, one day a week)"
"moores, robbins, Alcamo, costanza"
"Most books are available online. Textbooks are not necessary by any means, but certain books are highly suggested."
"Physiology, histology, biochemistry, pathology (first year)"
"Clincally oriented anatomy, Ross Histology, Rubin's pathology, Bates' guide to Phy. Exam, Barr's human nervous system, Lippincott Biochemisry"
"IM, FP"
"Primary care focus in certain classes, but no specific specialty in the basic sciences."
"No. Primary care is definitely talked up, but those who want specialty field are encouraged to do so. Curriculum may aid in ER as there is an ER training class ( optional) as 2nd years and an ER requirement as 3rd years."

"outstanding"
"Amazing. All of the faculty truly cares about students and helps with the voluminous learning as much as possible."
"Excellent"
"Amazing"
"The faculty is extremely good. Faculty are extensively evaluated by students and two forms of administrative review. Weak faculty are cut or lessened in prominence every year. New faculty is almost always significantly better. Physio is especially strong."
"pretty good"
"Not yet there, but Ive heard good things."
"Moderate"
"Attendings are notoriously friendly and love teaching. School expends a lot of effort identifying good faculty and funneling students towards them. The amount the residents bring to the table is hospital and department dependent."
"a,b,c"
"A, B, C, F"
"The grading system is very different than any other school and quite complex. It is a z score system. You are scored as a standard deviation of the mean of the 3 classes before you. This is a benefit to the students in that you are not competitive amongst classmates. You can always see your raw score on exams to see how many questions you missed. It is somewhat easy to get a B in a course but difficult to get an A. Grades are given as A, B, C, F. So it is somewhat similar to other schools High pass, pass, low pass, fail."
"Traditional grading system based Z-Score compared to previous class averages"
"Z-score based. In percentage terms, roughly a 65% is passing for each class"
"A,B,C,F"

"Multiple sites, each has a different method"
"Lottery System. Required rotations: EM, FM, IM, OB/Gyn, Peds, Psych, Surg, Critical Care Med/Anesthes., Primary Care, Surgery/Subspecialty elective"
"Lottery system 3rd Year: Internal Medicine, Family Medicine, Surgery, OB/Gyn, Psychiatry, Pediatrics, Emergency Medicine 4th Year: Im-Sub I, Surgery-Sub I, CCU/Anesthesia, Primary Care"
"Scheduling is via a partial lottery system. All possible locations and rotation orders are listed out. You rank your preference. Order of picking I'd randomized. Required 2xmedicine, 2xsurg, 2xFM, Obgyn, Peds, EM, Psych, 1-2 electives"
"pre-round, round, notes, various procedures"
"Not there yet."
"Depends on the assigned site, but lots of interactions with patients"
"Most sites expect you to see patients, write notes, present at rounds, make a few formal presentations per month, attend lectures and follow an assigned resident with any free time. Always expected to be actually writing in chart whenever possible."
"Highly variable depending on sites. Fabulously wealthy to poor in terms of socio-economics. Broad range of illnesses and chronic medical problems."
"A very big mix."
"Underserved"
"Medicare and medicaid. Some NJRMEC hospitals are affluent private patient populations."

"Nyc has everything you could ever want to do. If you can dream it up, its available. Mostly students drink and hang out."
"There lots to do its NYC. Anything you can think of."
"School activities and New York City nightlife"
"Bars, restaurants, sports, shopping...NYC has it all"
"Its NYC, are you kidding me? Everything is available. We've played basketball, been to plays, went to sorts games, partied till late at night, been on daytime talk shows all as "after school bonding""
"they do pretty well."
"Very well."
"Match is pretty good: https://tourocom.touro.edu/academics/do-program/the-match/match-results/"
"Most do go primary care, but the other half all go to decently impressive specialties. We have been exceptionally well represented in our first few years with highly desirable IM matches, making our " primary care" match pretty good."
"I think they know its a tough program, no grade inflation and well prepared students come from this program."
"Very impressed from what I've heard."
"Self motivated and exposed to electives at the best hospitals in the country."
